When the Lights Go Down in the City... of Wilkes-Barre

go ahead, write bad things about my guest writer, she'll kick your ass with these guns!

As an incoming freshman from King's, I've somewhat emerged from the small little country, to city life (or something like it).From moving day, to orientation, to making new friends,it was a lot of fun and it all seemed so easy. My initial reaction from the first day was, "If it's anything like it is now, this will be a piece of cake." It was only day time, and I didn't know what was in store for me once the sun had set, and night slowly creeped in.

If there's anyway I could describe how the people are at night, I could bear similar resemblance to the Michael Jackson video "Thriller".

"They’re out to get you, there’s demons closing in on every side."

They seem to be extremely friendly and when you don't express any genuine happiness from their cordial greeting, well they become demons--- metaphorically speaking.

"Darkness falls across the land
The midnite hour is close at hand
Creatures crawl in search of blood
To terrorize y’awl’s neighbourhood
And whosoever shall be found
Without the soul for getting down
Must stand and face the hounds of hell
And rot inside a corpse’s shell
The foulest stench is in the air
The funk of forty thousand years
And grizzy ghouls from every tomb
Are closing in to seal your doom
And though you fight to stay alive
Your body starts to shiver
For no mere mortal can resist
The evil of the thriller"

Umm... yeah. This is Wilkes-Barre a little after midnight. It's THAT self-explanatory!

So to be brief, for the week and a half that I've been there, that's basically what Wilkes-Barre is like at night. :: insert Michael Jackson stare with yellow eyes ::
